Sail Canada and Alberta Sailing Association membership

What is this / why is the Club a member Club of the provincial and national network of sailing associations? There are benefits to both individual members and to the Club.

• The Club can participate in the boat donation program (and we have received 10 donated boats in the first year of the program)
• Preferential insurance pricing for your boat / personal life
• Access to educational materials (CANSail Dinghy & Start Keelboat Sailing)
• Nationally accredited instructor training programs
• Use of the Racing Rules of Sailing (read this) Without the RRS, the International Regulations for ­Preventing Collisions at Sea would govern sailboat racing. The rights and obligations of boats under the IRPCAS are vastly different from the rights and obligations under the RRS.

The refundable bond helps the Club pay for services where there is not enough volunteer support. The volunteer bond also recognizes those volunteers contributing to the running of the club. Volunteer opportunities include:

• Spring & Fall Clean-up and Seasonal preparation
  
• Regattas
  
• Wednesday Night Race Committee
  
• Sunday Afternoon Series Race Committee
  
• Hosting a Friday Social (volunteer as bartender / burger flipper)
• Annual Awards Banquet
• Working Group / Committee participation
• and, there are many other options in the Member's Area of the website.
  

Members receive a $25 credit per volunteer contribution. This credit can be applied towards next year's membership dues.
